1. If i need to travel back to Canada i have to prepare Travel Documents; but why in the travel document it is mentioned to declare your current salary outside of Canada.

Employment outside Canada

You may count each day you were employed outside Canada if your employment meets the following requirements:

-you are an employee of, or under contract to, a Canadian business or the public service of Canada or of a province or territory and
-as a term of your employment or contract, you are assigned on a full-time basis to:

a position outside Canada
an affiliated enterprise outside Canada or
a client of the Canadian business or the public service outside Canada

Supporting documents:

You must provide a letter signed by an official of the business stating:

-the position and title of the signing official
-the nature of the business and how it fits the description of a Canadian business (see definition above)
-details of your assignment or contract outside Canada such as duration of the assignment; confirmation that you are a full-time employee of the “Canadian business” working abroad on a full-time basis as a term of your employment, or that you are on contract working on a full-time basis abroad as a term of your contract; and a description or copy of the position profile regarding the assignment or contract abroad

2. How long does it usually take for the Travel Document after submission to Canadian consulate

2. Secondly on which CIC Contact nos i can enquire about my PR card status from outside of Canada

All permanent residents who wish to obtain another PR card for reasons related to loss, theft, mutilation or expiry, must also apply using the same process. This requirement also affects anyone who did not provide the required information within the specified time frame after obtaining permanent residence status (see section 5.3 below). Persons applying for a PR card should be guided by instructions in the kit designed for this purpose, Applying for a permanent resident card (PR card) [IMM 5445E], available through the Call Centre or the Internet, in order to complete the Application for a Permanent Resident Card [IMM 5444E].

R56(2) states clearly that a PR card application must be made in Canada. Furthermore, the card must be delivered in person to each applicant, pursuant to R58(3), and be picked up within 180 days of the person receiving notification that it is ready for collection.

This enhances the integrity of the application process, allowing the local office to contact the client to review documentation and assess residency issues in person. However, it is recognized that the Regulations do not specify physical presence in Canada for purposes of filing a PR card application. Applications cannot be refused solely on the basis of evidence that the applicant was not in Canada when the application was filed. However, applicants are expected to provide an address in Canada where they may be contacted to provide additional information or to present themselves in person for the purposes of reviewing either identification or eligibility for the PR card. The CPC may refer a case to a local CIC if all or part of the application originated from outside Canada, and if there are questions as to the client’s identity, status or residency history, or the authenticity of the documentation. Clients must report in person to pick up their card in Canada, in accordance with R58(3).

1. Can I start a new process without renouncing or renewing my PR card?

It is important to note that a permanent resident does not lose their status under A46(1)(b) until there is a final determination of the decision made outside Canada that they have failed to comply with the residency obligation under A28.

Permanent residents are not finally determined to have lost their permanent resident status until the right of appeal has been exhausted.

2. Does the officer, even knowing that I have not met the residency requirements may approve my application for PR renovation? (I don't think that the immigration officer will accept my reasons - my family and my job - )

From the information we have received from several Border Information Services (BIS) representatives, you should have one photograph for each item. It is also recommended that if these items are jewellery, you should also have the photos stamped and appraisals by a jeweller.
